The Gate Will Be Opened To Those Who Sincerely Ask
MHFM: In Matthew 7:7, Jesus says: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Multitudes today lack faith or struggle to believe. If they sincerely prayed for the true faith in humility (without seeking the approval of others), God would give them the grace to move toward traditional Catholicism and recognize that it’s true. Further, note that this verse indicates that everyone who sincerely desires baptism will receive it. Jesus says: “Knock, and it will be opened.” What opens? Doors and gates open. The Church teaches that baptism is the door or gateway (ianua) of the spiritual life. It’s how one enters the faith of Christ. That door will be opened (and not remain shut) to those who sincerely seek it.
Pope Eugene IV, The Council of Florence, “Exultate Deo,” Nov. 22, 1439: “Holy baptism, which is the gateway to the spiritual life (vitae spiritualis ianua), holds the first place among all the sacraments; through it we are made members of Christ and of the body of the Church. And since death entered the universe through the first man, ‘unless we are born again of water and the Spirit, we cannot,’ as the Truth says, ‘enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5]. The matter of this sacrament is real and natural water.”
